It's been a busy day.

You know, an regular April-almost-May day where it snows all day. I just came back from a walk with my winter boots and my tuque and my mittens, and all the flowers and magnolia trees have their little snow bonnets.

You got to love spring in Montreal.

Amd I am this close to sign up for the big bang. Because I could write 10, ( Read more... )

Dear f-List,

I crave writing. I need it. I need to get back in touch with it.

Please, please prevent me from signing up for the rhr_bigbang.

Please, please prevent me from humiliating myself (again) and showing that I can't write something longer than a one-shot.

Mr Red (pointing the lamp post under the blinking blue light): No, that's a lamp post.

Thank you. We'll be at the Just for Laughs Festival all summer.

Joyeux anniversaire to honourweasley12 ! I hope you had a terrific day! Wishing you the very best for the year to come!

It's been a while since I haven't been around. I'm opting for a new approach to managing my stress, and it has to do with not delving into self-pity. Since I tend to do that when I'm on LJ, I'm trying to beat the pattern.

(Seriously. It's about damn time I grow up.)

Three of my stories got nominations for the nextgen_awards  and therhr_awards  and it's so very nice that ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday shiiki !
